Because of the length of these articles, they are being offered in scanned
versions. The basic facts are these: On 20 August 1925, Franklin P. Rainwater, a furniture
dealer from Cheraw, SC, was found by passers-by dead in his auto, which appeared
to have run off the road. He had been shot four times and the gun had been thrown
some distance from the car. These articles do not present a conclusive theory, other
than murder, and do not include coverage of the trial.
The articles, dated 21 August through 10 September, 1925, are from The Spartanburg
Herald. Three additional articles, dated 1927 from The Evening Herald of Rock Hill, and
1925 from The Observer of Newberry, provide additional information.

While it is clear that these two men were accused of murder, it is
not clear who was killed, whether they were prosecuted, and whether they were
guilty. George W. Rainwater changed his name to Randle and moved to Texas.
William is said to have done the same. See the entry on the
myths page for the details of the controversy

1 Dekalb County
On the 4th day of September, 1856, Prettyman Meuse murdered James Rainwater.
The murder occurred in front of Lot No. 8 on Washington Street in Bloomfield.
Meuse was a physician who had recently located at Bloomfield. Rainwater was a
young man, a day laborer, who had recently come to the town. Dr. Meuse became
incensed on account of some remark that he heard Rainwater had made about him,
in connection with his conduct at a camp meeting. Without saying anything to Rainwater,
Meuse approached him with a rawhide and revolver and commenced striking him with
the rawhide. Rainwater turned and started to run down the street away from him.
Meuse shot at him as he ran. The first shot struck him, and he expired in about
fifteen minutes. The bystanders were so amazed at the suddenness and manner of
the assault, that for a few moments they stood appalled at the scene before
them. After the second shot, however, Thomas Patterson, a cool, resolute man,
seized the murderer, and called upon some of the bystanders to assist in his arrest.
He (Meuse) was tried before James D. Knap, a Justice of the Peace, adjudged
guilty and remanded to the county jail to await the action of the grand jury.
At the October term, the Grand Jury returned an indictment against him, and
on account of the excitement against him in Greene County, the case, on
application of the defendant for change of venue, was sent to Monroe County.
He was tried in Monroe County, and found guilty, and sentenced to State Prison
for life. Some years after he was pardoned, but never returned to Greene County.
The last heard of him he was a surgeon in the rebel army.

J. M. Rainwater
Brenham, Tex, July 16 — The dispatch in yesterday's papers from Corsicana
announcing the death of Mr. J. M. Rainwater by jumping in a well at that place was
read with sorrow by many of the old citizens of this county, as Mr. Rainwater resided
here prior to the war, enlisted in Company E, Fifth Texas Cavalry, Green's brigade,
as a private, and made a good soldier, and was universally esteemed by all who knew
him, especially by the members of his company, who in 1864 elected him the position
of second lieutenant which he held to the close of the war. Soon after the war he
left Brenham and accepted a position with commission merchants at Navasota and remained
with them for a number of years, until his mind became impaired, rendering him incapable.

Murder of Findley and Trail of Rainwater
The facts of the case as reveled by the investigators seem to be about as
follows: H. M. Findley was a man about 60 years old, in easy circumstances,
in Mississippi, where he had a family. In view of emigrating hither, he had
purchased or rented a place and brought R. E. Rainwater with him, for which
Rainwater was to make crop. Findley had told several persons of his intimacy
with Rainwater’s wife, and finally made advances and propositions to her,
using threats of violence to both her and her husband if she did not submit,
of which she informed her husband on Thursday, and Saturday morning Rainwater
rose from the table, took a double barrel shot gun and walked out, he said,
to kill a squirrel. Findley finished his breakfast and walked out and sat upon
the fence, preparing his pipe to smoke, when Rainwater discharged both barrels
of his gun at him, which took effect and killed him instantly. He [Rainwater]
has been tried and sentenced by a jury of his countrymen to fifteen years hard
labor in the penitentiary.

Fatal Fall — His Head Was Crushed
Arlington, Tarrant Co., Tex., Jan. 18 — Van Rainwater, recently a mail carrier
between Eagle Ford and Estelle, was found dead near the tracks of the Texas and
Pacific Railway, about one and one-half miles east of this place, last night.
He bought a ticket at Eagle Ford to Fort Worth and is supposed to have fallen from
the train at the place where his body was found. Some people think he was struck
by someone on the train. He had started to his brother in Johnson County. Sixty
cents was found in one of his pockets and the other pocket is said to have been
turned wrong side out. He was buried today in the Arlington Cemetery. After the
burial, a few friends arrived from Eagle Ford. His brother, to whom he was going,
is expected to-night or to-morrow. He is said to have been a peaceable and industrious boy.
Additional Details
Fort Worth, Tex., Jan 18 — People residing in the vicinity of Arlington found
the dead body of a young man, apparently about 16 years of age, lying beside the
track, with the crown of his head crushed in. The alarm was given and the excitement
quickly became intense, especially as rumor had it that he had been murdered. A
crowd quickly surrounded the spot, one and one-half miles west of Arlington, and in
the gray light of morning discussed the grewsome [sic] find.
It was some time before the body was identified, but some hours after it was
discovered, a visitor identified it as that of Van Rainwater, a young man 16 years
of age, who had been working near Eagle Ford.
The agent at Eagle Ford states that he sold young Rainwater a ticket for Fort
Worth last night and that he started for the city on the train which arrives here
at 7:50 p.m. Nothing more was seen or heard of him until the identification of
his dead body this morning.
The entire crown of the head was crushed, as one would crush an eggshell, but
no other injuries appeared on the body. It is thought that he was either standing
on the platform or attempting or attempting to pass from one car to another, and
either fell, or was thrown off by the motion of the train, alighting on his head
and meeting instant death. Deceased's only relative is a brother named J. T.
Rainwater, who is employed on a farm near Cresson.

Whole family murdered: jealous farmer kills his wife, her relatives, and then himself
Kansas City, March 22 — Bee Rainwater, a farmer living in Orrick, Ray County,
murdered his wife, his mother-in-law, Mrs. William Artman; Ethel Gentry,
his step-daughter, and John Thurman1, a
step-brother, and then blew his brains out, Saturday evening.
Saturday night, Rainwater went over from his place to the Artman house to
visit his wife and children. He was annoyed by some dogs barking in the
orchard, and said to Thurman: "Johnny, lets kill those dogs."
Thurman took a shotgun and Rainwater a revolver and they left the house.
When they had gone about fifty yards Rainwater without having said a
word, shot him dead.
Rainwater then hurried back to the house. He had brought back the gun
which Thurman had taken out, and this he leveled at Mrs. Artman’s
head saying: "D--- you, I've got you all." Mrs. Artman threw
up her hands as Rainwater fired, the charge of the shot carrying off every
one of her fingers and the right side of her head.
He then shot his wife and stepdaughter. Afterward he reloaded the gun,
and, going to the front of the house, shot himself.
Jealousy and a belief that his mother-in-law was interfering with his
domestic affairs is believed to have been the cause of Rainwater’s
crime. He and his wife had frequently quarreled.
1 One article gives this man’s surname as Thurman; the
other article as Artman.

MURDER — James East was killed at Caseyville, Copiah, Miss yesterday
by William H Rainwater. No difficulty or hard feeling was known to exist between
the parties. Rainwater took East aside to have a word and a gentleman who was
near them had no intimation of any quarrel until the report of the pistol,
when turning to the parties he saw East fall and Rainwater run off. The ball entered
East’s head just above one of his eyes.
William was the husband of Mary Angeline Bailey, 1840-1912. Born in Mississippi,
his parents are not currently known.
